Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Xiao Chengzhang's face fell and he began to cry in grief.

"My daughter, you died tragically. The person you wanted to marry with all your heart actually killed you. Don't worry, Dad will definitely avenge you!"

Seeing Xiao Chengzhang's loud but little action, Xie Chengyin wanted to slap him twice.

Xiao Yiju is dead, but her father is still using her to discredit the Marquisate, and he calls it revenge. If it is really revenge, the one who deserves to be killed is himself.

Just then, a figure pushed aside the crowd and walked to the front.

Xiao Yizhen felt a sudden pain in her heart when she looked at the new house where only a faint black smoke was left.

"With the beads..."

Her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Nanny Sun arrived in time and supported her from behind.

Xiao Yizhen looked at Xie Chengyi, and suddenly became angry. "Why are you fine, but my sister died in the sea of ​​fire? It must be you two brothers who did it! Dad, you have to avenge your sister!"

Xiao Chengzhang walked up to Xiao Yizhen and said, "Don't worry, I will make them pay for your sister's life. I will go to the palace and file a complaint, and ask His Majesty to give me justice!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to walk out, and the officials following him followed closely behind him. As the crowd consciously made way for him, Xiao Chengzhang walked towards the gate of the marquis' mansion with a menacing look.

Before they reached the gate of the marquis' mansion, they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves outside, and then a man who looked like a eunuch appeared at the gate on horseback.

Without waiting for the horse to stop, the eunuch jumped off the horse in a hurry. In his anxiety, he fell to the ground.

No one who saw this scene laughed, because they all saw the bright yellow imperial edict in the eunuch's hand.

The young eunuch did not dare to stop for a moment after falling down. He got up and continued to run towards the marquis's mansion. The guards at the door of the mansion did not stop him. They watched the eunuch rushing in with the imperial edict, and actually passed Xiao Chengzhang and ran directly to the brothers Xie Chengyi and Xie Chengyin who were far behind them.

"Marquis Yongding received the order."

The eunuch's unique shrill voice rang in the ears of everyone present, and they all knelt down and bowed towards where the eunuch was standing.

The eunuch stuffed the imperial edict into the hands of Xie Chengyi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said anxiously: "Marquis Yongding, hurry to the palace to rescue the emperor!"

At this time, there was a turmoil in the palace.

Emperor Tianqing sat on a chair in the Chaofeng Palace, looking at the Empress standing below him and Prince Xiang in armor. He had an upright figure and a calm expression, without any sign of panic.

He has been the emperor of Daxing for more than twenty years, so this little disturbance is not enough to make him lose his composure.

He sneered, "It seems that you have been prepared for this. Then, the Heart-Eating Gu that Yang Zhao found was also deliberately revealed to me by you."

"Yeah, otherwise, do you think the Heart-Eating Gu is so easy to find?"

Xiao Ling twisted her charming figure and walked closer to Emperor Tianqing, but was blocked by Yang Zhao who suddenly appeared when she was a few steps away from Emperor Tianqing.

"Your Majesty, please stop."

"Hmph, Yang Zhao, get out of the way. I can spare your life today."

Yang Zhao bowed his body, with a cold smile on his face that revealed a hint of sarcasm, "Your Majesty, my life belongs to your Majesty. Whether I stay or go, only your Majesty has the final say."

"Get out of my way, you bastard!"

As she said that, she raised her foot and kicked towards Yang Zhao. At this moment, Yang Zhao's not-so-tall body became very flexible, and no one saw him move. However, Xiao Ling's kick not only failed to hit him, but also almost sprained her own foot.

Xiao Ling glared at Yang Zhao in frustration and tried to move forward, but was blocked by Yang Zhao again.

"My lady, please stop."

This sentence sounded like a rule, but it was more like a warning. Seeing Yang Zhao lowering his brows and looking submissive, his voice was sinister and sharp, and he stopped where he was unconsciously.

I didn't expect that this eunuch, who had always been inconspicuous, was actually a big shot.

Xiao Ling no longer thought about getting close to Emperor Tianqing. She stood below, looking straight at the indifferent eyes of Emperor Tianqing, and said, "Your Majesty, I asked you to come here today because I have something to ask of you."

Emperor Tianqing remained silent, his eyes calm.

Xiao Ling suppressed his impatience and was gentle and respectful, "Your Majesty, you finally came to Chaofeng Palace, and Yan'er is here too, why don't you decide on the replacement of the crown prince today."

"Change the crown prince?" Emperor Tianqing's majestic voice was full of coldness. "I'm afraid you have more than one idea. First change the crown prince, then abdicate. This is your goal, right?"

Xiao Ling put away the smile on her face, "Since you understand everything, then issue the decree. I have prepared the imperial decree, and it will take effect once it is stamped with the seal. Come, bring the imperial decree."

Yin Shuang came out from behind him, handed the bright yellow imperial edict in her hand to Xiao Ling, and stood behind him.

Xiao Ling unfolded the imperial edict and turned the side with the words towards Emperor Tianqing, "Your Majesty, please use your seal."

Emperor Tianqing looked at the imperial edict and found that the handwriting was exactly the same as his. Even the word "Feng" on the first auspicious cloud followed his habit. It really took a lot of thought to do it.

"I will not recognize this imperial edict. If it's fake, it's fake. No matter how genuine it looks, it's still fake!"

Emperor Tianqing's calm eyes revealed murderous intent, which swept across Xiao Ling and fell on Shen Zhaoyan, who had been standing at the end and had not spoken a word.

"Did you have any hand in this?"

Shen Zhaoyan looked at Xiao Ling, then at the imperial edict, "I understand."

"Haha." Emperor Tianqing chuckled, "What a good thing to know. Knowing what mother did and not stopping her, but accompanying her to usurp the throne, you are helping the tyrant to commit atrocities. You should be executed for the same crime."

Xiao Ling took a step forward, blocking Emperor Tianqing's gaze from looking at Shen Zhaoyan, and said in a voice full of arrogance, "He deserves to be executed, but you can still do it! My son will soon be the new emperor, what crime can you punish him for?"

Emperor Tianqing sat upright, not weakened by Xiao Ling's solemn promise, "It's too early to say this. My crown prince is still alive. If I die, the crown prince will succeed to the throne, and it won't be your son's turn to be the new emperor."

"You said that sickly Shen Zhaoyong, how many days can he live? I'm afraid you don't know yet. He has been poisoned for a long time. If you count the days, it will only be these few days."

Emperor Tianqing paused. He had been able to remain calm until now, but suddenly he became agitated. His hands on the table were trembling slightly. "Could it be that you were the one who poisoned him?"

"Hahaha, guess what."

Xiao Ling's laughter, like a silver bell, resounded throughout the Chaofeng Palace, and like a murderous ghost, it penetrated into the hearts of everyone in the palace.

That arrogant laughter said it all. The look Emperor Tianqing gave Xiao Ling was more ferocious than ever before.

He shouted through gritted teeth, "Xiao Ling!" At this moment, he wished he could crush the person and the name together.

He used to think that she was full of calculations, so even though he didn't like her, he still gave her the honor of queen for Shen Zhaoyan's sake.

But I didn't expect that she could be so cruel.
